Then it behaves in your case differently than for my lovely husband and me. Because although I'm basically a really enthusiastic reader and can hardly resist consuming prints, there is a kind of book that doesn't fascinate me at all. I’m talking about travel guides and somehow I don't find these kind of books attracting.

It certainly makes sense, if one plans systematically sight-seeing tours and activities on trips. But my husband and I manage this in a different way, because we simply love to let ourselves float on holiday. That's why we avoid planning on holiday, and instead we live pleasurably from one hour to the other.

When we make excursions, we decide on feeling where we are going, and watch what we see due to the corresponding chosen path.
My husband and I find this exciting and it's just fun also currently on Mallorca to discover our particular holiday destination through this way. And even though it seems that we are missing out on one or the other sight, we don't want to miss this freedom.

Therefore, I assume also in future that for my husband and me travel guides will not have a chance, and now I'm curious to read how you are doing in this respect.

How do you prepare for a holiday? How important are travel guides for you? How do you discover your holiday destination?

Luckily, my blue patterned Rouje jumpsuit - which I had planned to pack at home - proved to be a perfect outfit for our spontaneous activities on Mallorca ...With and without a guide, you may enjoy what you like and the weekend, too!

We enjoy not only this patio at our resort ...

... it proved even that my outfit of today is perfect for our excursions ...

... that enabled to see beautiful Mallorca not only from a distance ...

... as we drive without any plans on the streets of Mallorca ...

... and discover carob trees on the street sides and much more.

One of the streets have led us to the Hotel Sa Duaia at Carretera Cala Torta ...

... we stopped there for a bite to eat as this tower attracted us ...

... and we found there not only the flower decoration lovely ...

... but also this "Majorcan bread" was tasty ...

... and this typical dish in Mallorca with octopus, aioli and olives, too.

After this nice refreshment we came by coincidence into the romantic town Artà ...

... with this impressing church "San Salvador" that was previously a mosque ...

... and old fortifications ...

... that enabled fascinating views to Artà ...

... and to the landscapes around.

Finally we came even to the community Capdepera ...

... where we visited the Castell de Capdepera ...

... with the little chapel Nuestra Senyora de la Esperanza ...

... where this bis cactus caught our attention ...

... as well as these bells ...

... and the amazing view to the Cala Rajada.
We are happy we discover all the wonders here on Mallorca - and still don't need a travel guide.

Hello hello hello ;) Interesting topic once more! We are doing some homework before travelling but also once arrived we check what's interesting to do ... or not so we talk with local people and most of the time holiday starts for us with a visit to a local market ... always nice to see how people live and what they are eating ;) Now I'm like you ... travel guide is not really necessary for us!

Hello hello hello ;) It makes me happy that you think this topic is interesting :) How you start most of the time holiday is a wonderful way to get to know with the people and habits there! Thanks a lot for sharing and your kind feedback, too!

Hi Rena, I haven't been to Mallorca yet and your photos are amazing, it is for sure a wonderful place. And of course you look great in the jumpsuit :-) When I travel somewhere, I like to take a guidebook with me because I don't want to miss any landmark. However, when it comes to restaurants and other places I never rely on guidebooks as I like to even get lost in a city to feel its real atmosphere. Enjoy your holiday, greetings, Marta

Hi Marta, I really can recommend to visit Mallorca as it is a beautiful island. Thank you! I'm convinced it works best how you do it when travelling and how you do this with restaurant and other places sounds absolutely great! Thanks a lot, greetings, Rena

I think it is the perfect way to vacation. Without travel plans a person can be more relaxed on the holiday, I think. I think it is great that you and your husband don't read travel guides, but discover the places you visit by yourself. I think it is much more fun that way. Mallorca looks amazing. I'm sure you had fun discovering it. The food on the Mallorca seems great too. That bread and octopus both look yummy.

I really want to go to Spain because I have relatives there and I'm interested in the Spanish language; it's close to our language. I also love your bag because it's perfect for summer, although I don't think I'll be able to use it that much because I always bring a lot of stuff when I got out. Still thinking of getting one though, with a faux leather strap.

You have very good reasons to visit Spain! Hopefully you can visit Spain very soon. I could imagine that this bag would be even big enough for your stuff as I'm always surprised how much stuff fits in this bag :)

I love how spontaneous you are when comes to holidays! I’m more of planner. I always do lots of research before going on holiday so I know exactly what to expect and what I want to see . However I do have spontaneous moments too and just go with the flow! You look fantastic as always! 💖😘💞

We love such unplanned trips. Sometimes they are short, sometimes a little longer. Often we promise one point to see and then we walk, ask local people what's cool in the area. It is often the case that these less-known streets, buildings or landscapes are the most beautiful. We like the atmosphere of the place a lot more than known attractions and crowds of people.You look so Beautiful in navy blue coveralls. It's nice that you're smiling all the time, because others also have positive moods.Have a nice day.Elawww.themomentsbyela.pl

I got already the impression that you love such unplanned trips. And obviously you made also the experience that the less-known streets, buildings or landscapes are the most beautiful and you like the same as we :)Many thanks <3 You made me again smiling again.Have a nice week.Rena

Hey honey, came after a long time. Was on holidays. You are looking so stunning in this jumpsuit. All the pictures are so dreamy. Spain is a great place to be discovered. Have great day dear. With Lovehttp://www.rakhshanda-chamberofbeauty.com/

Really interesting topic!, I'm a huge fan of preparing our travels, with lots of plans and maps and stuff, and then we're totally spontaneous and do whatever we like in the moment. It looks like wasted energy in planning, but it makes sense for me!You look fabulous in your summery outfit, and love the bag and typical espadrilles! Glad that you enjoyed the fantastic views and the fantastic food!besos

I love unplanned trip, but mostly I have to research the place beforehand so I can choose what kind of outfit I will be wearing, so the picture will turn out as I want. I hope you enjoy your holiday. Your outfit looks so comfy for travelling. Love your wedges, I have to get one like yours.

I only like reading travel guides if it's a country or area I've never been before or am unfamiliar with. I needed a travel guide when I went to Thailand but I don't really use them for trips inside the USA. In general, though, I don't like to overplan my vacations because I like flexibility when I travel. I just use guides to see what the country has to offer and I decide when I get there if I want to see them or not. On a sartorial note, I adore your jumpsuit! It's chic and most certainly appropriate for the weather in Spain. I studied abroad in Madrid for one year in university and I remember Mallorca being one of my favorite islands!

I see you know when you like reading travel guides and you have also your trips when you don't use them as you love obviously flexibility, too! Thanks a lot and yes, this jumpsuit is definitely appropriate for the weather in Spain. You know not only the weather there very well and I really understand whay Mallorca has being one of your favourite islands.

Beautiful print on that jumpsuit Rena. I do my research on line, read a lot and then set up my program.Answering the question on this post http://myeverydaywear.blogspot.com/2018/06/best-find-2018.htmlI paid 27.00 USD for the bag.

I understand you very well, I also don't relly on travel guides and travel guides and travel agencies, we like to do our own itinerary in our rythm and as we like. It is also less expensive this way. Love your photos, I really hope to visit this place some day because I see fantastic places and great food.Regards, Flo

Hello dear RenaLast year I had no holidays due to my health problem, and I'm afraid this year it will happen again. I don't suffer for it, because I just want the doctors to find out my problem, maybe they wil find out soon, so I'm a bit stressed about it. it's just that I'm focused on. I feel compensated to see the bloggers I like (like you) go on holidays, and I imagine myself in those places. I also don't like everything planned, I like being myself to discover the places and to be free to do whatever I want.As for your look, it is perfect for vacations, and I love your straw bag, lovely.Kisses

Hello dear MarisaI'm very sorry for you. Wish you by all my heart that the docotors will find out your problem immediately! It speaks again in your favour that you feel compensated to see other bloggers and it makes me very happy that I belong to the bloggers you like. How cool you neither like everything planned!Thanks a lot <3Kisses

I absolutely love to travel to Spain. These photos that you took of your excursion are truly beautiful. I really love your jumpsuit and espadrilles. I am very careful with hotels and like to read the customer reviews before I travel. That way I know that my hotel is comfortable and lovely, and then I can hope the rest of the trip goes well. ❤️❤️❤️Elle https://theellediaries.com/
